    This is the spot my girlfriend's daughter wanted to go for her graduation dinner and I'm glad she did. I've only ever been to the competitor of here and so I was actually excited to try this place. The food was pretty good, like as good as the other places like this, and the staff were friendly and helpful even though we had about 20 people. The atmosphere was cool and inviting and they had a few TV's as well so I was able to keep up with the NBA playoffs. I will say they were busy but didn't seem AS busy as other places which makes it a great alternative to those other spots. If you ever want some good Cajun seafood and an atmosphere that's pretty laid back and chill, I say skip the bigger chain spot and head over to LA Crab Shack. I don't think you'll be disappointed. 5 stars!

    Very reasonable prices.

    We were in the area for a local event, and the food trucks were ridiculously expensive. I spotted LA Crab Shack in the mini-mall, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is large and comfortable, relatively quiet and very clean. We were seated immediately, and our server was friendly and fun. We had fish and chips, a crayfish bag, and a shrimp bag. All the food was plentiful and tasty. Dinner for 3 with drinks was about $40 each, and we all felt the food was both excellent, and a good value. I will most definitely eat here again.

    Side rice
    Alan B.

    Came out with some friends, they already ordered before we got there. We got the family platter, and added sausage and side rice. I prefer everything to come out in the bag, but they wanted it on a platter, which I feel the food gets colder faster. The crab legs were awesome! No complaints there, but the crawfish tasted very fishy. Didn't even bother sucking the bodies, because there was no flavor to them. The shrimp also tasted rather fishy. We also asked for mild and I think we got no spice. I was told it's normally not like this, so I'll rate 3.5. The big thing keeping me positive about this place was the waiter. He was very welcoming and chill and had great energy as an individual. It made for a way better experience while eating here. He also kept all our drinks topped off and he made it fun to be there! I will try it again, next time get my own personal bag!

    Sea food boil with sausage, ramen, corn.

    By far my favorite sea food boil restaurant / location. The food is always fast, hot, and tasty. I've never had a bad experience nor had to wait a long time to get sat. The restaurant is always clean, and has a lot of seating. The staff there are always really friendly. I got a bag with ramen, sausage, corn and sometimes I get potato's. I also like shrimp, but they only sell them by the pound and I cant finish a pound alone. My favorite seasoning is a medium house blend, and is super flavorful. Our waiter Phillip was super helpful and welcoming, he made sure we had enough lemons and our drinks were always refilled.

    I visit Mesa every year and this has quickly become a place I have to stop! I only order one type of protein since I come with one other person, but I always enjoy it! I ordered the 1/2 lb of shrimp with medium spiciness and the house spice. I love all the flavors in the house blend and the shrimp is always cooked well. I usually get sausage and potatoes and it's a decent price for a good seafood meal. The atmosphere is nice, very open space where you can just see everyone chowing down. There's a few TVs spread out and while I was there they had college football on which a lot of people were into. Our server was quick and efficient and was quick to ask us for refills if we needed them. I hope to be back next year for my annual trip!

    Shrimp boil with 4 potatoes

    This is where my daughter wanted to go for her graduation dinner and it did not disappoint. We had a large crowd and they were able to accommodate and take our orders in a timely manner. Food portions are always on point. We always leave with leftovers. I don't have anything negative to say and still prefer this food chain over others. Highly recommend giving LA Crab a try if you haven't already.

    The best seafood boil in Arizona! I always get the house blend hot and never lets me down!
    Lino I.

    This location without a doubt is the best!!!! I've been to all of their locations but the Mesa is top tier. Phillip and his team definitely have some recognition! The food is always flavorful, drinks are always full and the service amazing! If you haven't stopped by to try LA Crab shack out you're missing out!!! Best seafood boil in all of AZ!

    Cajun chicken pasta looked & tasted like it was microwave.. disgusting, don't recommended going here at all

    Hush Puppies with Gator Nuggets!
    Gil M.

    Service was top notch and much appreciated. The gator nuggets and hush puppies were delicious and filling at a great price point. I always forget to take a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow.

    Waitress drew this cute gator on the receipt!

    I'm basically a regular at this point. Have come back several times since I discovered this place back in 2022. Consistently great food and service!

    Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
    Alyssa H.

    Food was pretty good. I feel like it was average. Nothing special. The server seemed a bit annoyed/disconnected. I believe the staff were on break and having a meeting in the dining area, and there weren't many other customers so it was a bit awkward. The restaurant isn't a hole in the wall but the decorations kind of make it one. Wouldn't go back.

    Shrimp and green mussels
    Amy F.

    One of my favorite seafood places to go to. The spices are good and the food and drinks are good

    Gumbo tasted like it was straight from Louisiana and the price was excellent.

It wasn't packed, but wasn't dead. The decor is Mardi Gras. We had a hard time deciding what to try so we decided to try items we already know well and get a baseline for the flavors. We shared the shrimp po boy w/ fries and the rice & beans with sausage. We also had a side salad that came with the rice & beans. All in all everything was good. We would come back and try some other things, including the crawfish. Staff was friendly, and service was quick.

    Could Pier 88 be my new favorite local spot for seafood boil???…read more Yes... yes it is! We ordered three pounds of head-on shrimp. Spice level was medium and went with the 88 Special seasoning (a combination of cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper) - AMAZING flavor!! Perhaps my favorite aspect was that their seasonings were not overly salty - I feel that most other seafood boil restaurants just include way too much salt in their seasonings... but at Pier 88, you can really indulge without feeling like you're going to end up with high blood pressure! Extras included corn, sausage, and potatoes... and those were all delicious as well! I couldn't have been happier with this meal... so I will definitely return again soon!

This place looked like it did a good seafood boil and was located near where our hotel was. Upon entering we were greeted and sat right away. He ordered a shrimp basket while I ordered my usual snow crab. Heads up, all the supplies will be brought in the bottom of the discard bucket like gloves, lemons, and crab crackers. I wasn't aware of this, and placed all the discarded items on top of it while eating bareheaded as I didn't see supplies, and no one was around to ask. Usually places will bring on the side, and I wish I was told that in advance when it was brought to the table. It made for quite the mess, but if we return I'll know for next time. Once our server returned to check in after 10+ minutes that's when we were advised, and I adjusted though I had put my boil bag in there so most had been soiled. As for the food, he liked his shrimp while I thought the crab was okay in flavor/spice. It didn't really standout out like other places I've been to recently, but overall I would return if I was in the area.
